The Jin Wu Religion's situation was indeed as Tsing Hui had guessed.
Ever since Tsing Hui had disguised himself as an expert from the Jin Wu Religion and destroyed the Fortune Gate on Flying Snow Island, ruining the Fortune Gate's plan to enter the East Sea, the Fortune Gate had become extremely jealous of the Jin Wu Religion.
The Fortune Gate could be said to be invincible in the Eastern Wilderness. Even though the Limitless Sword Sect, Hunyuan Heaven Sect, Qiankun Sacred Land, Jin Wu Religion, Green Lotus Sword Sect, and other forces had secretly formed an alliance to resist the Fortune Gate, they were still at a disadvantage. The Fortune Gate's Green Netherworld and Vision Saint experts were almost comparable to the nine great sects combined. Such a powerful force had lost face in front of the Jin Wu Religion. How could the Fortune Gate be willing to accept this?
In addition, the Hunyuan Heaven Sect had joined the Shadow Sword Sect, one of the ten great Chaos organizations, and had received a lot of funding from the Shadow Sword Sect. If they waited for three to five years to digest all the resources, the sect's power would definitely soar. At that time, they would be a great threat to the Limitless Sword Sect.
However, the Fortune Gate did not share a border with the Hunyuan Heaven Sect. If they wanted to invade the Hunyuan Heaven Sect and suppress the Hunyuan Heaven Sect, they would have to pass through the Jin Wu Religion or the Limitless Sword Sect.
The Limitless Sword Sect was a tough nut to crack, and the Fortune Gate knew this. As such, they could only focus their attention on the Jin Wu Religion.
After more than a year, the Jin Wu Religion had suffered heavy losses under the Fortune Gate's attacks. Even with the Limitless Sword Sect and Qiankun Sacred Land secretly supporting them, the Jin Wu Religion still found it difficult to breathe. They had lost dozens of Law Kings and elders. Three months ago, one of the fourteen grand elders had died, causing the entire Jin Wu Religion to mourn.
Today, a new piece of bad news once again enveloped the entire Jin Wu Religion.
"Elder Chi Huang …"
In a magnificent meeting hall of the Jin Wu Religion, Lie Wuyang's beautiful face was filled with sorrow.
Chi Huang was the backer of Lie Wuyang and Law King Lie Ji. He was a grand elder who had cultivated to the late Vision Saint stage. Not only could he manifest his Saint body, but he could also manifest his Saint body for four times longer than a new stage Vision Saint stage cultivator.
The death of such a grand elder was a heavy blow to the entire Jin Wu Religion.
At this moment, not only Lie Wuyang, but the other Dharma Kings and Supreme Elders of the Golden Crow Sect were also gathered here.
At a glance, there were more than a hundred Law Kings and Jin Wu Religion experts present. In addition to the six grand elders present, as well as the Jin Wu Religion's leader Zhu Xuan, who was also at the Vision Saint stage, there were a lot of talents present. At the very least, the Life Alliance that Tsing Hui had formed after unifying the overseas regions could not compare to them. However, the meeting hall of the Jin Wu Religion was filled with a sunset atmosphere.
"Our spies from the Jin Wu Religion have already received news from the Create Evolve Mysterious Sect. I'm afraid that the Create Evolve Mysterious Sect really wants to completely destroy our Jin Wu Religion to intimidate the other sacred sects … In these past few years, the alliance led by the Limitless Sword Sect against the Create Evolve Mysterious Sect has grown stronger. Especially when the Hunyuan Heaven Sect joined the Shadow Sword Sect not long ago, the Create Evolve Mysterious Sect felt a great threat. Once the Hunyuan Heaven Sect develops to a level that is not inferior to the Limitless Sword Sect, the Create Evolve Mysterious Sect's obvious advantage over the other sacred sects will be completely destroyed. At that time, their sovereign status will be shaken. Therefore, the Create Evolve Mysterious Sect must kill the chicken to warn the monkey."
Zhu Xuan said in a deep voice, "Unfortunately, our Jin Wu Religion has become the Create Evolve Mysterious Sect's first target."
"The Hunyuan Heaven Sect, the Limitless Sword Sect, and the Qiankun Holy Land have no other reaction? Are they just going to watch as our Jin Wu Religion is continuously eaten away? "
Vice sect master Luo Riyao stood up with a sorrowful expression.
"The Limitless Sword Sect wants to, but they are powerless. In order to prevent the Limitless Sword Sect from assisting the Jin Wu Religion, the Create Evolve Mysterious Sect's Daoist Tian Ding, Daoist Golden Cicada, and six grand elders have personally come to the Burial Sword Terrace."
"Daoist Tian Ding!? Daoist Golden Cicada!? "
The crowd burst into an uproar when they heard Zhu Xuan's words.
Just like the Divine Dragon List overseas, there was also a list in the Eastern Wilderness. The Eastern Wilderness named it the Eastern Wilderness List. The list listed the top figures in the entire Tianhuang Region. Daoist Tian Ding was ranked second on the list, second only to the Lifeless Sword Master of the Limitless Sword Sect. In addition, Daoist Golden Cicada was also ranked eighth on the list. Although he was ranked eighth, no ordinary Saint stage expert could underestimate him.
Even if the Limitless Sword Sect had always been the main force against the Create Evolve Mysterious Sect, they still had to be extremely vigilant when facing these two top figures and six Saint stage experts personally.
"We can't count on the Limitless Sword Sect, so we can only ask the Hunyuan Heaven Sect for help. We only hope that the Hunyuan Heaven Sect can provide us with enough help. If the Hunyuan Heaven Sect's Primordial Chaos Saint, who is ranked fourth on the Eastern Wilderness List, is willing to help …"
"Impossible."
Zhu Xuan shook his head. "Although the Shenxiao Sword Sect also belongs to the camp against the Create Evolve Mysterious Sect, they have been fighting with the Hunyuan Heaven Sect for a long time. If the Primordial Chaos Saint really dares to help, the Shenxiao Sword Sect's Primordial Chaos Saint will definitely collude with the Create Evolve Mysterious Sect's experts to kill him first before plotting against the Create Evolve Mysterious Sect. This is also the reason why the Create Evolve Mysterious Sect has been suppressing us to the point where we can barely breathe despite having the advantage in terms of Saint stage battle power."
Zhu Xuan's words made everyone fall silent.
Suppressing them …
At the end of the day, it was because the nine great sects were unable to cooperate wholeheartedly. Otherwise …
No matter how powerful the Create Evolve Mysterious Sect was, it would be difficult for them to withstand the combined might of the nine great sects.
"Then what should we do? If this continues, the Jin Wu Religion will face the risk of being destroyed …"
Many elders were deeply worried.
"We can't count on the Limitless Sword Sect for the time being, so we can only place our hopes on the Hunyuan Heaven Sect … if we only ask for help, the Hunyuan Heaven Sect may not sincerely send enough experts to rescue us. However, if the Jin Wu Religion shows enough sincerity …"
Before Zhu Xuan could finish, a grand elder coldly snorted. "Sect master, the Hunyuan Heaven Sect also has wild ambitions. They are eyeing our Jin Wu Religion like a tiger eyeing its prey. Do they really want the Jin Wu Religion and the Create Evolve Mysterious Sect to suffer great losses so that they can swallow our Jin Wu Religion in one fell swoop and become a top faction on par with the Limitless Sword Sect?"
"I understand! Therefore, we can make use of the Hunyuan Heaven Sect's ambition towards our Jin Wu Religion and ask them to help us resist the Create Evolve Mysterious Sect. "
"Sect master, what do you plan to do?"
The gazes of all the Grand Elders and Vice Sect Masters landed on Sect Master Zhu Xuan.
"Everyone should know that the Hunyuan Heaven Sect's Hunyuan Son, Jie Xu, has broken through to the Green Netherworld stage not long ago, right?"
"That's right."
A grand elder nodded. "Jie Xu is a heaven's pride that the Hunyuan Heaven Sect has poured countless efforts into nurturing. Not only has he cultivated divine-grade astral qi, but he's also a high-level Son of Chaos. Now that he's reached the Green Netherworld stage, his battle power is not much inferior to us old fellows. It's said that he has already received the support of several Saint stage ancestors.
"It's likely that such a Hunyuan Heaven Sect's successor is foreseeable. Although the Hunyuan Heaven Sect hasn't officially announced this news due to Jian Ying's matter, I estimate that it won't be long before this day comes."
"Sect master, you mean …"
Zhu Xuan's gaze swept past the grand elders and vice sect masters to land on Lie Wuyang. "The Hunyuan Heaven Sect wants to annex our Jin Wu Religion, so we'll give them the chance! If we're talking about disciples with unlimited potential who have cultivated divine-grade astral qi, our Jin Wu Religion also has them! "
Zhu Xuan's gaze also attracted the attention of all the elders. Some of the more quick-witted ones immediately thought of something. "Sect master, you mean … a marriage alliance?"
"That's right! Let Wuyang and Jie Xu have a marriage alliance! Not long ago, Wu Yang obtained a treasure that raised her Primal Chaos level to the ninth level. Let's lend her a helping hand and give her the Dao carrying items that the cult has accumulated, allowing her to become a high-level Son of Chaos with the bloodline of the Golden Crow and a cultivation base in the realm of Unity of Divine and Qi. With these identities, no one will doubt us when we promote her to a vice cult master. "
Vice sect master Luo Riyao, who was most likely to inherit the Jin Wu Religion's sect master throne, immediately reacted. "Sect master, you mean to let the Hunyuan Heaven Sect think that our Jin Wu Religion intends to fully support Saintess Wuyang to become the future sect master, and then let her marry Jie Xu. If the Hunyuan Heaven Sect wants to annex our Jin Wu Religion, they will definitely support our Jin Wu Religion through Saintess Wuyang to fight against the Create Evolve Mysterious Sect? This way, they won't have to worry about the backlash caused by their plan to annex our Jin Wu Religion? "
"That's right. Between a Jin Wu Religion that has suffered heavy losses and a Jin Wu Religion that can peacefully develop in their hands, the Hunyuan Heaven Sect will definitely choose the latter without hesitation."
Zhu Xuan said.
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately nodded in agreement. Obviously, they approved of Zhu Xuan's plan.
"This matter depends on whether Wuyang is willing or not."
Zhu Xuan's gaze fell on Lie Wuyang.
Unwillingness flashed across Lie Wuyang's face, but she still stepped forward and lowered her head to hide her pain. "I'm willing to follow sect master's orders."
"Good."
Zhu Xuan nodded heavily when he saw Lie Wuyang agree. "I've wronged you. Don't worry, our Jin Wu Religion will definitely not treat you unfairly in the future."
"Sect master, in fact, Jie Xu will annex the Jin Wu Religion through Wuyang. Why can't Wuyang use Hunyuan Heaven Sect through Jie Xu? You should know that since ancient times, even heroes have a weakness for the charms of beautiful women. Wuyang is the most outstanding disciple of our Jin Wu Religion. If we can bewitch Jie Xu, the future sect master of the Hunyuan Heaven Sect, and make him listen to us, perhaps... "
A hall master stepped forward and suggested.
His words made the eyes of the various elders and hall masters light up. "Although this method is rather difficult, it does not mean that there is no hope."
"Everything will depend on Wuyang's methods."
Zhu Xuan stared at Lie Wuyang as he spoke. "There's no time to lose. We'll send someone to the Hunyuan Heaven Sect. Our sect will give you the greatest support. Wuyang, although this matter is rather difficult, whether our Jin Wu Religion can maintain its vitality under the attack of the Create Evolve Mysterious Sect or even use the Hunyuan Heaven Sect will depend on your methods..."
"Yes."
Lie Wuyang lowered her head and responded.
Seeing Lie Wuyang's downcast mood, Law King Lie Ji could only console her. "Jie Xu is young, but he has already cultivated divine-grade astral qi to the Qingming stage. In addition, he has the identity of a high-level Son of Chaos. He is the most outstanding young genius of our Eastern Wilderness. The marriage between the two of you will not be a disgrace to you."
The most outstanding young genius?
Hearing her father's words, for some reason, the little thief who had repeatedly forced her to snatch the Great Sun Golden Crow Art from her appeared in her mind...
If they were talking about the most outstanding young genius, that little thief was likely even better than Jie Xu, right?
